This 5 day Celtic rocker tour was a good way to see many interesting places in the West of Ireland in a short time for a fair price. The tour was well organized, the hostel accomodation mainly in 6-bed dorms was ok: the Kinlay hostel in Galway was comfortable and clean, providing even separate light and USB charging plug-ins at each bed; the Rawntree hostel in ..."

This was the best thing I have done, it was perfect in every aspect. Great accomadations, all of them have Wi-Fi now! Great food, it was wonderful meeting so many people and seeing such beautiful areas. Was given great information, and was told great stories. Dave and Kim, you guys are wonderful. Thank you for everything.

We were extremely fortunate to have Connell as our tour guide. As a fluent native Irish speaker and a man who is passionate and knowledgeable about the history of Ireland, both mythical and recorded, he provided us with background commentaries which were amusing, interesting and insightful. He also introduced us to some good pubs and wonderful musical entertainment, not to mention tasty local food.
We were well looked-after.

A HUGE 5 STAR rating!! I did the Celtic Rocker tour. Jamie our tour guide was absolutely awesome! Saw the most amazing views and got to spend a lovely day(in the sun) on Inis Mor" Island! Cycling the Island and swimming in the Atlantic Ocean! Experienced traditional Irish Pubs and got insight to the history of the beautiful country. My time is Ireland was unforgettable! Thank you Shamrock Adventures !!

I've recently returned from the Celtic Rocker 5 day tour and I am still on a high from the adventure I had! I travelled solo which I was nervous about primarily, but I needn't have been - everyone was super friendly and I left with new friends and amazing memories. Our tour guide, Darren, was the best craic. His tales of Irish folklore and history were so interesting and he made an effort to get to know all of us on the tour. Ryan, who joined us for a wee while on the tour, was also fantastic. Both were humorous and knowledgeable and most importantly proud of their fantastic country. This tour had everything! Stunning scenery, fascinating history and plenty of opportunities for a pint of guiness or 2. Accommodation in Galway was top notch, and the others were clean although more compact. I'm so glad I did this trip and I'd recommend it to anyone as the best way to see Ireland. I'll be back!

Great way to view treasures of Ireland in a short time. Travelling on my own I felt a Dorm experience would help meet fellow travellers and it did. Accommodation in Galway best of 3 places. Rooms very cramped compared to next 2 venues sadly. Transport comfortable, bus driver John great. A flat tire and narrow roads didn't phase him. However success of any guided tour is indeed the guide. Connell genuinely wanted us to enjoy everything the country he loves has to offer. Scenery, sights, a natural story teller and well researched history, food, pubs, whiskey, music and the beer. Most importantly he spoke to all in the group disregarding age and background. Some guides can treat you like a number. Well done Shamrock for selecting the right folk to represent you.

Every single minute of this trip was absolutely feckin' fantastic!
Our tour guides were very friendly, knowledgable and helpful in everyway. The accomodation was brilliant in all locations, the bus driver was awsome and the bus was very clean and comfortable. All in all, the entire trip and itinerary was exceptionally well planned and organised. The perfect taste of all things Irish, all the while, having and absolutely grand time. Would hightly recommend this trip to everyone and will definitely do it again myself one day..... hopefully soon!
Thank you everyone at Shamrocker Adventures.

This tour was the best thing ive ever done!!! From start to finish it was brilliant, The places, the people, the bus, the accommodation-- everything! oh and the Guinness of course!
I am from Belfast and think the tour should be pushed/advertised up North as Ireland is soo beautiful and we should all know more about our Island.
Darren and Jason- ACE! Because they also love Ireland and are passonate about it- it reflected on everyone else!
Thank-You for making me pleased with my choice of Easter Break!

Amazing experience was absolutely speechless of this beautiful country. Great hostels except one did not have wifi in bedroom which was a pain. Overall amazing destinations and guide would definitely recommend

Shamrocker Tour Celtic Rocker (Dorm)
This 5 day Celtic rocker tour was a good way to see many interesting places in the West of Ireland in a short time for a fair price. The tour was well organized, the hostel accomodation mainly in 6-bed dorms was ok: the Kinlay hostel in Galway was comfortable and clean, providing even separate light and USB charging plug-ins at each bed; the Rawntree hostel in
Ennis was quite ok, only the Neptune hostel in Killarney had a relatively low standard. We had a comfortable coach, and a save journey with the friendly driver Michael. Our tour guides, Conor and Kim were great, giving us a lot of information about the history, country and people of Irland, and even organizing evening fun for the group. We saw Galway,
Ennis and Killarney, the Aran island Inishmore, the Cliffs of Moher, the Dingle Peninsula, Blarney Castle and the Rock of Cashel (suggestion: next time a longer stay at the Rock of Cashel and a shorter stay at Blarney castle instead).
